But I live in the D.C. area (Bruins fan), and let me tell you- the fans here are STILL laughing at that trade for Varlamov. A likely high-level 1st rounder and a high second for an oft-hurt, questionable-focus goalie who wanted to leave anyway? AND end up with Neuvirth and Vokoun? Mind-blowing. Makes the old Tukka Rask trade look like an even deal.

It really shouldn’t surprise them that both acquisitions are still years from their prime. They were very poor trades.
